Strange Things

Strange things seem to come up in my aquaponics system when I
stop paying attention for a few days. the latest 'stranger ' to appear
is a Mamaki plant. There  is a Mamaki bush about 4 feet from the
system so I am sure that is the mother of this plant.

The interesting thing is that  no seedlings have ever come up under the mother plant.
Also , all the cuttings I have tried to root failed.

But fate or a bird  or an insect carried a seed to the system and it
is growing like gangbusters without any human intervention.

For those of you who do not live in Hawaii , I need to explain that
Mamaki is an endangered Hawaiian  medicinal plant  that is used by the Hawaiians.
